Greetings fellow reefers. I'm looking for lighting recommendations for a reefer xl 300 g2 36"x22"x22" . Tank will be a mixed reef with SPS up high and LPS down lower. I'm looking at the Kessil AP9X and Reef Breeders Photon 32 V2. I'm not a lighting expert but looking at the layout of both I cant help but think the RB is going to provide better coverage. Anyone have experience with one or both that you would share? I'm open to other suggestions also but would prefer to stay with a single fixture and I do not want a light I have to hang. TIA

In my opinion and experience, I think the reefbreeders light will give you better coverage. You might still have some residual shadowing on the front and back edges, but you could mount the light higher (15"+) or add T5 bulbs on either side of the RB light.
